Mercy Mercy Me (Album Version)

by Michael McDonald

Lyrics
Ooh yea
Yea
Ooh yea

Oh, mercy, mercy me,
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east.

Oh, mercy, mercy me,
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury

Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
Radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and birds are dying.

No, no, no
No, no, yeah
Ooh

Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
